NORDIS Digital Information Literacy Forum: Generative AI, media literacy and ethics – Navigating authenticity in learning

Date
23 January 2025 14:00 - 17:00 CET
Location
Merkki Museum, Helsinki and Online

Why? The conference aims to inspire educators, researchers, and policymakers to embrace the potential of AI while cultivating critical thinking and ethical awareness in the next generation of learners.

“We need to ensure “AI natives” to become “AI literate” already within the school education and start with the teachers.” Dr. Kari Kivinen quote.

A new DIL AI guide (see draft of English index here) for teachers will be launched by Dr Kari Kivinen as follow-up to very popular 2022 Digital Information Literacy guide published during the NORDIS network’s first mandate. What do we need to teach to ensure a curious active relationship to the new technology tool and to help the “AI-native” generations to navigate authenticity in learning?

DIL Forum also discusses the role of very large online platforms (VLOP) in media literacy efforts in NORDIS countries based on the pilot NORDIS led monitoring exercise to keep VLOP’s like TikTok accountable on their latest 2024 transparency reports. VLOP companies – under special new scrutiny of the EU commission – are close AI stakeholders as AI developers train their models with our data – user-generated content. We will ask what is the role of VLOP in Nordic media and information literacy now? And what should it be?

We will also share the Nordic best practices on media and information literacy development in the field of AI to inspire and future proof Nordic media welfare models in the new EU legislative context.
